Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress

"Patricia, nice to see you too. Nina's smile didn't reach her eyes. "It's been a while."

"It has been!" Patricia, now a beautiful woman, flipped her shiny hair as she casually invited herself to Nina's table. "How nice, meeting you here!"

Nina smiled, staring at the spot where Patricia had sat down. "Someone is seated there.

"Oh? Are you with a friend?" Patricia furrowed her brows. "Or is it a client? Don't tell me it's your fiance?"

"Patricia" Nina forced herself to maintain a smile. "Please, not here?"

"Not here? What do you mean? Patricia tilted her head to the side. "If you're with a client, then I'll just hire you. That way, I'm a client now. Isn't that better?"

The corners of her lips curled up as her eyes sharpened a little, while Nina maintained her poise. Ever since what happened when they were children, there was nothing that could repair their friendship. Nina had reached out to Patricia before and apologized, but all she got in return was a slap on the face and a lot of harsh words from her.

Nina took it.

She took everything because she knew it was her fault. It was Nina who betrayed Patricia and ruined their beautiful friendship. Therefore, she didn't complain and moved on with regret in her heart.

Many years later, when they started attending university, they met again. Since then, Patricia never left her alone and often picked on her. Even as adults, it was the same whenever they crossed paths. Today wouldn't be any different. "Patricia." Nina breathed out calmly. "What do you want now?"
